1969 Map of Midway

About this map

Lake Talquin dominates the central landscape of this Gadsden and Leon County border region, where the reservoir meets the course of the Ochlockonee River. Along its northern shores, several water-access points like Bagwell Landing, Coes Landing, and High Bluff Landing suggest the importance of the lake for local recreation and transit during the late 1960s. The northern tier is defined by the town of Midway, a hub situated along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the highway corridor, while the southern portion of the map is largely preserved within the Apalachicola National Forest.
